Oracle Calendar is powerful time management built for today's enterprise, combining advanced group and resource scheduling functionality with a wide range of access methods to give you up-to-date calendar information — anytime, anywhere, and on any platform you need it. As an extensible time management platform based on a central data store, Oracle Calendar provides the ability to connect time and location-based information across Oracle Collaboration Suite and other enterprise applications in real-time, enabling you to optimize business processes throughout your organization.
Advanced Group and Resource Scheduling
Streamline business processes with Oracle Calendar's advanced group and resource scheduling features:
| • |
Use the calendar's intuitive interface to view one or more persons' agendas at a glance, choose a meeting time and perform automated conflict checking, easing the process of booking meetings and avoiding scheduling conflicts. |
| |
| • |
Maximize the use of shared resources such as meeting rooms by conducting searches based on geographic location or seating capacity, or you can even integrate resources with your workflow system, enabling administrators to reject or approve access to highly valued equipment. |
| |
| • |
Create, modify and delete complex meetings quickly and efficiently, by using pre-defined groups, recurrence rules, and support for multiple time zones. Or let Oracle Calendar do it all for you with automated suggestions for meeting times based on invitee and resource availability. |
| |
| • |
Assign others' rights to your agenda, enabling them to manage your schedule on your behalf. And set access rights that ensure your privacy by defining who can view the details of your agenda. |
Real-Time Availability
Work smarter with Oracle Calendar's real-time availability that connects you directly to the calendar server to access up-to-the-minute user and resource information. Unlike Microsoft Exchange'sŪ message-based time management system, with Oracle Calendar there are no lags, no message queues and no data replication; the data you receive is always current and completely accurate.
Multi-channel Access
From the integrated Connector for Outlook, to the rich feature set of the desktop clients (for Windows, Mac and Linux), and the anywhere convenience of the web client, Oracle Calendar provides a wide array of access methods designed to meet the needs of all users. In fact, flexibility and choice are what Oracle Calendar is all about, because everyone has different ways of managing their time.
Complete Synchronization Portfolio
Oracle Calendar offers mobile device synchronization tools that support PDAs, cellular phones and other smart devices, so users stay connected and up-to-date; anytime, anywhere. You can synchronize your Palm or PocketPC with the calendar server through a desktop conduit, or leave the desktop-to-handheld era of synchronization behind with SyncML server-based synchronization, and connect to the calendar server over-the-air using any SyncML-compliant device.
Time Management Fit For a Suite
Integrated with the rest of the Collaboration Suite through the ease of single sign-on, Oracle Calendar also brings its time management functionality to other components. Through Oracle Web Conferencing, online meetings and events can be easily set up and accessed through the calendar interface. And through integration with Oracle Wireless & Voice, you can receive SMS alerts of calendar events or browse your calendar from your mobile device.
Extensible and Customizable
As enterprises look for ways to integrate calendaring data directly within their existing corporate portals or build custom applications, Oracle Calendar's standards-based developer tools include a Web Services Toolkit that provides XML and SOAP based mechanisms to allow access and the transfer of calendaring data to other applications, and the Calendar SDK uses the iCalendar standard for data representation to facilitate data interchange. |
